Chapter 241 026: Treasure Hunters
Luo Xi took the book and glanced at it briefly, and soon saw the problem.
He simply explained: "This is what you are talking about, the interaction between elements, the structure of this thing is like this"
Then, he roughly explained this knowledge point to Angel.
"I see!"
Angel suddenly realized: "You are really amazing, thank you so much!"
This Angel's talent is unexpectedly good. Although her wizard talent is only third-class, she can really be described as a genius in terms of her comprehension of knowledge. As for some of the knowledge points that Luo Xi explained to her in the past few days, she basically understood them all at once. She is extremely intelligent.
Luo Xi was also very fond of such an apprentice, and a sense of accomplishment naturally rose in his heart. He nodded and said, "Go back and think more about this idea. The other things in this book are similar. If you have any questions, just call me."
"Yes, sir." Angel smiled sweetly.
But then he quickly sighed: "I wish you were my mentor."
Angel was not a favored apprentice in the Wizard Tower, and her instructor was indifferent to her. When she occasionally encountered problems, he would just give her a few perfunctory words and let her go back to explore on her own. It was simply impossible for her to receive the kind of earnest teaching that Luo Xi could give her.
This is not to say that the wizard tower is targeting Angel intentionally, but as mentioned earlier, the wizard tower here is mainly for treasure hunting, and knowledge exchange is secondary. Therefore, wizards generally care more about those "capable" apprentices who are more talented in treasure hunting, can quickly translate documents and keenly perceive certain possible treasure locations from ancient documents, etc.
However, these were not what Angel was good at. She did not have a keen sense of smell for treasures, nor was she skilled in treasure hunting. She could not bring obvious value to the wizards, so naturally she was not favored.
Angel said: "Why don't you let me follow you and be your apprentice."
Angel has made such a request to Luo Xi more than once recently. After all, in the past few days with Luo Xi, she clearly felt that her knowledge had greatly improved, even more than what she had learned in the wizard tower in the past few years.
After a pause, she continued to plead, "My family is willing to sacrifice everything for you, even if it's not an apprentice, but a dependent."
Being a follower is almost equivalent to giving up one's own independent existence as an individual, and from then on becomes a personal property of the wizard. The wizard has the final say on their life and death, and their value completely belongs to the wizard himself.
Being able to lower her posture to this extent really shows that this Angel is very sincere.
Luo Xi raised his eyebrows and frowned, "Don't say such things. Didn't I tell you? If you still insist, then don't ask me questions again in the future."
He didn't know why this Angel seemed to be eager to leave here, but she was a wizard apprentice with a home after all. For any wizard organization, apprentices were the private property of the entire organization. She could be unpopular and neglected in the organization, but if an outsider wanted to take her out casually, that would definitely not be possible.
Luo Xi's advice to her was just a momentary interest. Although taking an apprentice would only benefit him, there was no need to create conflicts with the wizard organization here for an apprentice. Besides, he would have to use the other wizard's airship to go up there, so he couldn't afford to make enemies with them.
Angel sighed, shrugged her head and said, "Okay."
After a pause, she quickly pulled herself together and didn't continue the topic: "Let's go out quickly, the food should be ready."
The two of them quickly came outside.
Jerome and Kane have already set up camp on the river beach.
In addition to Luo Xi's own tent, the three of them also built a tent each. They were all prepared before departure and placed in Angel's space ring. They were also magic tents that solidified space spells. However, the internal space was not as luxurious as Luo Xi's. There was only a separate bedroom. However, it was already very good to have such a living environment when traveling away from home.
At this moment, two people had built a bonfire in front of the tent. On the bonfire was a large iron pot, with something boiling inside. The air was filled with the unique fishy smell of seafood, and there were a few strangely shaped fish roasting on the fire next to it.
When the two saw Luo Xi coming out, they quickly stood up and saluted: "Master Wizard."
Jerome picked up a skewer of grilled fish and handed it over, saying, "Master Wizard, this is the death fish that was fished out of the River Styx. We also added special spices to it. Please try it."
Luo Xi took it and looked at it curiously. How can I describe the appearance of this fish? The first intuitive impression is that it is ugly, with bared teeth and rat-like eyes, which reminds Luo Xi of the croaker on the blue planet. It looks unappetizing, and the name is hard to describe. However, after roasting this thing, it smells surprisingly good, which makes people salivate. Even Luo Xi, who has eaten all kinds of delicacies, swallows his saliva unconsciously.
He took a small piece of meat and put it into his mouth. The meat was extremely tender and fresh, and it seemed to melt in his mouth all of a sudden. The strange spices mixed with the original delicious taste of the fish meat hit his taste buds, and his mouth was full of fish fragrance.
"Oh, that's really good." He praised.
Jerome and Kane, who had been standing in front of Luo Xi somewhat awkwardly, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and smiled on their faces.
Jerome said, "There are also shells and lobsters over there, which are the specialties of the Styx. Oh, yes, there is also fish soup. If you haven't had fish soup yet, we will prepare it for you right now. Please be sure to try it."
"I'll get it."
Kane had already gone over there, taking a bowl and getting fish soup.
Luo Xi looked at them curiously. Although they were usually very respectful to him due to the difference in their status and class, he had never seen them being so attentive as today.
Could it be that he wanted to take me as his master like Angel did? Impossible, right?
Luo Xi took the fish soup and took a sip. It was indeed just as they said. The taste of the fish soup was also very good. Even with the delicious fish meat in front, the fish soup still made people feel refreshing after drinking it.
He nodded: "Yes, it tastes good."
The smiles on Jerome and Kane's faces became even more intense.
Luo Xi raised his eyebrows and immediately asked straight to the point: "Is there something going on between you two? I think you should just speak frankly."
